Why is Gurgaon One of the Best Places to Start a Food Franchise Business in India?

Gurgaon is a rapidly growing city, and from once being an outpost in New Delhi, today it is one of the largest IT & financial hubs in India. Gurgaon has become one of the top business hubs of the nation, where skyscrapers, luxurious residential colonies, extinguished malls, etc., are quite common.

In fact, the city has close to ~ 90 operating malls. Likewise, it is home to a wide range of food-cum-retail junctions such as sec-29, Huda markets, Vyapar Kendra, Cyber hub, Bani Square, Good earth city center, DLF super mart (1 & 2), Qutub Plaza, etc.

Gurgaon’s economic fortunes, the extensive footprint of modern retail, cosmopolitan appeal, and growth in disposable income naturally make it a fertile ground for food & beverage business, restaurants, PBCLs, QSRs, etc.


As per the research by The India Watch, Gurgaon has a total of 5197 restaurants & organized food outlets. (The total number of F&B outlets in Gurgaon is around 14,000 which also includes food carts, local eateries, small-time cafes, snack shops, etc.)

Though starting a restaurant business from scratch is always a great idea, it is noteworthy that to successfully run a restaurant business in a place like Gurgaon, which has intense competition requires a lot of effort in setting up, food quality, marketing & promotion, etc. Similarly to run a food business, it is important to maintain consistency in terms of taste and quality. Not doing so can be detrimental in the longer run.
